This week I’ll present you a small summary regarding the Hatchery Machine interface:

When opening the Hatchery machine, you’ll see 2 different sections:- The “My Eggs” section, which contains your eggs- The “Eggs Store” section, which allows you to obtain new eggs

From the “My Eggs” section, you can see your eggs and hatch them if you want to (1). You can also see the 8 appearance genes of this egg by clicking on (2), allowing you to have an idea of how the Norn may look without hatching it. If your game is linked to a Facebook account, you can also send this egg to a friend (3).

You have a limited number of egg slots, but you can buy some more using coins or Golden eggs (4).

Click on (5) on the “Eggs Store” section to see which appearance genes each egg can contain (6). Eggs can be bought with energy, which refills automatically with time.

Gamescom is the biggest videogame event in Europe, where over 100.000 gamers and the vast majority of industry insiders flock every summer. What better setting to present new games or improvements on existing long overdue projects?

If you had a chance to see our demo at Gamescom 2012, you’ve surely noticed that the game is finally running smoothly and is really getting closer from the vision we had for it.

Since Gamescom 2011 we’ve introduced a starting tutorial and it was great to see players get into the game quickly and cleanly this year (compared to the general disorientation of the public twelve months ago ). We also added some new features like the Norns speech abilities, the Science Kit and the Ecosystem!
